Product description
Strand of Dyed Semi-Precious Stone Agate Round Beads
Agate is a porous mineral that easily absorbs various pigments. The individual layers of the stone have different absorbing capacities, due to their unique composition and structure. Another property of agate is its ability to change color when heated. This creates a vast field for creative expression, which is why today there is an entire industry dedicated to the production of chemically colored stones. The art of dyeing agate has been known since Roman times. It is a permanent, irreversible process and is considered a standard practice for enhancing its qualities.
